Dex Knows – With Dan Franciscus
Listen to this Episode
Audio available
Dan has been working with PowerShell since his early days in IT, where he was tasked with moving 500 mailboxes a night. He took the time to learn PowerShell and developed a process to do this efficiently. In 2017, he attended a 5-day PowerShell training course taught by Jason Helmick, which he considers to be the best experience of his career. Dan believes that all departments should care about digital experience and that PowerShell is the most important tool for this. He is also interested in the potential of AI and how it could be integrated into Microsoft products.

Andrew Pla
PowerShell MVP, podcast host, and Community Director of PowerShell Summit
I’m a technical educator and community builder. I’m a Microsoft PowerShell MVP, podcast host, speaker, and Community Director of PowerShell Summit. I also work at PDQ alongside sysadmins and IT pros every day.
Community isn’t just what I do. It’s where I get my energy. I genuinely light up when I see someone land a new job, level up a skill, or show up to their first conference. I love sharing that passion with others.
Every week I host a live podcast and stream on YouTube covering PowerShell, automation, and the humans behind the keyboards.
If you’re on your IT journey and need someone in your corner, you’re in the right place. Find more at andrewpla.tech/links.
